MY COUSIN BILL.
By DAISY MURDOCH

l had gone down to the Old place to
see Cousin Bill Whcatly. Cousin Bill
had stayed there AMI worked the farm,
and been all in all to grandmother and
the rest, while | had grown to be fine
gentleman in the city-vcry fine in my
own estimation at least. And we were
walkin together along the green lane
between a fveacre meadow and the Or
chard when we heard scream.
Gracious" cried Cousin Bill. "That's
her. l know her voice. She's got
frightened by tho cows again. Hello!
I'm hcrel Pm coming! Don't stir! Up
on the fence. know" he added to me
in confidential tones, "and right among
the bramblcs."
"Who on earth is afraid of cows in
thia placer" asked.
But Bill was gone. AMI in q few mo-
ments returned with q pretty girl on his
arm. The wind had blown her hair
about, and the bramb!es had torn her
muslin dress, but there was an air about
her did not expect.
Miss Mason, Cousin Henry, said Bill.
'Mr. Hunter, perhaps, l ought to say :;
bat hope you'll be Lilly t. him and
he Henry to YOU after Il while He's a
great fnvorte Of mine, Lilly, ana has got
to be wonderful lawyer in London.
Eh, old boy2'
Mss Mason said few gay words to
me, ana we S:aIlcd home together She
kept his arm, and they were cvidci tv
engaged, and j felt as though there
could be nothing more unsuitable 4
city lodscr of my aunt's l supposed, for
she was very elegant. However, | found
out after while that she was only the
schoolmistress. Her futher had been one
of those rich men who fail and leave
their children penniess. Ana she had
: had every advantage. Now she bore her
revcrscs with dignity and sweetness.
+ Perhaps the fact that Cousin B,Il had
plenty Of money had caused her to en-
gage herself to him. | could think 0.
no other reason except that she had not

About 5 o'clock last evening young
man named Burial, son Of Mrs. Mary Bur-
nll, a widow living at No. 3 Twentieth
street, fell in fit on Main street opposite
L.. S. Delaplaip, Son 4 Co.'s wholesale
dry goods store. Word was sent to his
mother, and in the course Of an hour she
sent some irierds, who removed the un-
fortunate young man. During all this
time the poor fellow was allowed to lie on
tho pavement with nothing but a coffee
sack under his head. There was one gen.
tleman who had the humanity to stand
by and keep the flies of tho man, but
none who would take him in. There he
lay on the pavement, q revolving sight to
all passers.by. The young fellow Is said
to be weak witted and subject to these
attacks, 8 a ~ q No.

now THE NEWS WAS RrcEIyEI

Tho Robbers Work Causes tderabfe
ati Wrath-General Hall News.
The news received from Zanesyille last
evening filed the base ball enthusiasts
with righteous rage and Indignation.
There was one general regret, aud that
was that after Monday game at the Island
Park, when Mckinney, the so-called UNI.
pire, fully demonstrated his i1capacity
for the position and verified the reports
received from Columbia as to his unfit
ness, the home club did not refuse to
play any further games under his direc.
ton. lis claimed that he 10 honest and
anxious to do right. but don't know
how. That he don't know how
has been made painfully evident, for
1t is seldom that he watches the ball when
It Is thrown to bases. After his work OF
the past few days 1t Ia doubtful II there
are many that will give him credit for
honesty OF purpose. He evidently has it
in for Wheeling, and will roast her as
hard as he knows how. He is not how
ever, the only one to be blamed. Presi.
dent Vogele should be severely ceneured
by Wheeling's representatives for impoa-
ing such rank robber. on the League st
tho frat opportunity. Columbus would
probably join heartily with Wheeling in
this. y & 4is&'i5 a ,i-{ z. -
All reports from zaneaville wore to the
effect that Mckinney did all he could to
crush Wheeling. Manager Nicholson
telegraphed the following to President
Seetsy: N r'gsi555i IA
We refuse to play our games here with
Mckinney as umpire. What do you say
about it? He is worse than at Wheeling.
Answer Immediately. ~ 3, ~ y 80 80
The following answer was sent By Mr..
seeley, and sill will be sure to endorse 1t as
tho proper answer: IL u 9essi5 = Is;
"rhe Board directs you to refuse to play
Zsnesville games with Mckinney So UNI
pire. Report ON the grounds for play, but
refuse to p!ayil Mckinney ampires.h
This will probably force Zaneeville to
aequiesce in the selection Of new um-
pire. When here the Z.nesville team
agreed that McKtnney's umpiriug was
infamous, but refused to agree to sub
etitute; they knew that they had a soft
thing Of it. 1t will bs observed that as
usual they forced Wheeling to bat first.

vile and Wheeling clubs both played bali
in fine form to-day and it is matter OF
general regret that what would probably
have been the best game over played on
tho grounds there should have been spoiled
by the idiocy Of that man Mckinney,
who has been. detailed by President
Voegle to. umpire this weeks games be.
tween the two clubs. Wheeling people
have had q chance to ace him and know
how rank he is. He apparently knows
nothing Of what is required OF him. q.
The game opened with Wheeling at the
bat. Crogan worked his base on balls.
but was thrown out in attempting to steal
second. Nichol flew out to McMillen,
Nicholson got to frat on q phantom, but
was put out trying to mako third on a
wild pitch. In zsResville's half johnson
got first on five balls and stole second,
WEIGH popped up o little fly to Bell,
which he muffad and Johnson scored on
smurthwaite's hit to- left; Bobby was
thrown out in attempting to steal second,
thus retiring the side. 4 It was in this
inning that Lauer flew out to Nicho, and
he threw WEIGH out. at second, making a
neat double play. The next two innings
both sides were blanked. In the fourth
Nichol hit to right, stole second and
scored on McMil!en's error. In the aixth
C.ogan led of With q two Dagger and was
brought In on Whites two Dagger to left,
White died on second. ia..5 ist5't5
In the last half OF the sixth, Bailey mad
his finger injured by a foul tip and Vest
lake took his place, being brought in and
Dunn going to right. GAINESVILLE had
scored once in the sixth and had the
bases full with only one man ont, when
Captain Orogan refused to play any longer
because Mckinney sent McMillen to frat
Tor being hit by pitched ball, Crogan
claimed that McMillen had struck at the
ball, and there ia really no doubt but that
Is what he did. Mckinney refused to
change bis decision and Crogan called his
men of the field. This was but a sample
OF McKinney's umpiring. II was simply
rotten, and while both clubs got dosen the

had called his men of the game was given
